PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING
Installed in the entire upper floor of the Sprengel Museum Hannover, the exhibition PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING! comprises the photographic works of approximately 50 artists from five decades. It is not only the second significant collaboration between the Lower Saxony Savings Bank Foundation and the Sprengel Museum Hannover – the first one being HOW YOU LOOK AT IT – but also a project that follows on from the exhibition in 2000 and invites visitors to enter a comparably exemplary confrontation with the medium of photography.

EXPO LINO

Expo LINO is answering those questions through an exceptionally talented graphist’s12 years of creation. The exhibition, curated by Marc. H. Choko, titular professor at the Design School of UQAM, will be presented at the Design Center of UQAM, from August 31th to October 30th.
Until October 30th 2011
